The reporter of the Gazetteer drop-

a number of young ladies and gentlemen
threading their way through the maay in-
intricacies of the dance. The club haa
elegant quarters and intends to make the
most of the social season. A hop will
take place one evening in each week, un-
til warm weather arrives.
The reporter of the Gazetteer was
present a tew evenings since in the edi
torial room of the Morning News and
listened to a recitation by Mias Powers
Our visit was accidental, but we thank the
kind dispensation that directed our steps

Mr. Bettes’ residence on last Monday
evening was the scene of gaiety and
pleasure. The occasion was a “candy-
pulling” given by the famous I. M. M.
dub. The spacious drawing rooms were
thronged from 8 o’clock to 1 o’clock with
atiUdt villt. On the ground floor, in the
double parlors, dancing and music were
enjoyed by all. The adjoining room was
devoted to the card players, while all the
room* on the second floor were used for
dressing rooms, pulling candy, &c. The
entertainment waa certainly one of the
most recherche ever given in Denison.
Without, on the verandas, could be heard
the gay laughter and the sparkling re-
parte ot the handsome beaux and the
beautiful belles, and within the soft
music and the sountT"of tripping feet as
they want on with the dance. And “joy
was unconfined” until the red glare in the
direction of Main street attracted the at-
tention of all, and as it was already late,
many living in that direction hastened
away. The well known A. G. club favor-
ed the guests with some splendid vocal
music. Mrs. Bettes, Mis* Cook and Mr.
Asa Runyan also gratified their hearers
with several beautiful selections. Mr.
Runyan’s selections from Mikado’s
“Tit-willow,” especially, was warmly
encored.
Church sociables are becoming more
and more interesting. It seems that the
lady members of the churches can’t re-
strain their good impulses and the conse-
quence is that the fun-loving citizens are
feasted and amused in every conceivable
manner. Last Wednesday evening the
Episcopalian’s social took place at Dr.
Felld’s, on Gandy street. To say that
there waa a crowd would not hall express
it. - There was hardly standing room, and
the house is very commodious. The
phantom dance was a pleasant and
amusing feature, also the musical part of
the programme. The famous Gate City
Quartette, composed ot Denison’s best
talent, Messrs. Platter, Menetee, Smith
and Allender, rendered several choice se-
lections, among which, was “Sitting on
the Golden Fence.” Miss Luella Dollar-
hide, the pet contralto of Deniaon, sang
“Music on the Beach.” This is a new
song just out, by Mrs. G. M. Jones, and
suits Miss Dollarhide’s voice to perfec-
tion. During the music the music room
and the hallway were so crowded that the
stairway leading to the second floor
looked like a veritable gallery, filled with
gallery god esses, minus the peanuts, com-
motion, Sec. A splendid lunch was dis-
pensed in basket* to couples at 50 cents
each. Thanks to the untiring efforts of
Mrs. Dr. Fetid, Miss Leeper, Mrs. Dr.
Nagle and others, the entertainment was
a financial success.
Miss Sallie Hubbard, a charming young
lady from Pottsboro, who has been visit-
ing in the city for the past tew days, the
guest of Mrs. Romie Wilson, returned
home this evening.
The ladies of the First Methodist
church will give a Washington tea party
on the 22d. A full programme will ap-

The ladies of the Baptist church wiil

C. Foster, some evening during the pres-

Mrs. Z. P. Stoneman has returned
home from Bonham, where she has been
for the past week.
Principal Chief Perryman, of the

We heard a prominent citizen remark
last week that the management of the
McDougali could always count on a good
crowd when they have such companies as
Patti Rosa's.
There is a Peck’s “Bad Boy” Company
in the state, but we don’t think it is
Atkinson’s, the one that was here a few
weeks since.
Annie Pixley, after the style of Patti
Rosa, in her plays of “M’Liss” and
'Zara,” supported by a powerful com-
pany, is making a tour of the state, but as
yet she has no date at the McDougali.
Bidwcll’s Star Dramatic company will
make a tour ot the state, commencing at
Texarkana on the 18th. The company
have a date at Sherman on the 19th and
Denison on the ioth.
There are two companies playing in the
state at present at cut rates, ten, twenty
and thirty cents. But neither of them
will visit Denison as the manager of the
McDougali says he will not play any
company at cut rates.

Col. McDougali contemplates a thor

built, the stage enlarged and the gallery

good move. Let the work proceed
as soon as possible.
There seems to be sn amateur minstrel
company epidemic in Texas. There are
no less than half a dozen—Sherman,
Gainesville, Bonham, Greenville, Waco,
and we believe Terrell, all .now boast
companies “aboveg the average.” So
their home papers say.
We hear ot a number of our amuse-
ment loving people expecting to go over
to Sherman .Monday evening to see M. B
Curtis in “Sam’l ot Posen.” We are
sorry Mr. Curtis didn’t pay Denison a
visit; he would have done as well here
and perhaps better than at Sherman.
We venture the assertion that Patti
Rosa received more complimentary no-
tices from the press of Texas, during her
visit to the state, than any other actress
this season. All the papers had a good
word tor Patti.
The Military Minstrel troupe was at the
Shennan opera house Feb. 12th. 1'hey
are composed entirely of home talent,
and comprise forty-live members, with
six end men.
The following is the chorus from “My
Caroline,” as sung by Patti Rosa:
O Car-o-line, my Caroline,
Come meat me on the corner;
Car-o-liac, O Caroline, the nights arc growing
warmer;
And when 1 shout, pop out your head.
Wait till your mother hue goo* to bed.
Thto come and kiss your Uule Johnnie Horner.
Mr. Charles A. Wing, the representa-
tive of M. B. Curtis, the great “JSam’l of
Posen,” was in the city last Saturday
week to see Patti Rosa in “Zip.” We
regret very much not getting to see Mr.
W ing as he is represented u> be a whole-
souled gentleman and first-class business

Mr. J. G. Stuttz informs the Gazetteer
that las new play, the “Uastile,’’ was
presented on the 4th inst., at Nachodo-
ches, to a $350 audience, and that it is
taking the people by storm. Mt. Stuttz
has sold his play, “Niagara,” to Palmer,
who will produce it at the opening of
next season in New York city.
I-ouis R. Warwick, supported by the
Streeper Dramatic company, commenced
a week’s engagement at Gray’s oper-
house, Houston, last Monday evening.
The repertoire of this company is,
“Trodden Down,” “Davy Crockett,”
“Phoenix,” “Enoch Arden,” “Man of
Mystery,” and “My Partner.” This
company is playing to cut rates, ten,
twenty and thirty cent*.
The next attraction at the opera house
will be Bidwell’s Star Dramatic Compa-
ny, Saturday evening, Feb. 20, Owing
the fact of the Gazetteer learning ot
this company’s intended visit to Denison
just before going to press, we are unable
to tell our readers of the merits or de-
merits of the company; but suffice in this
issue, that if this is the company that
Mr. Bidwell has been playing af- his
opera house in New Orleanti then /our
theater going people have in store a very
rare treat.
Manager Walker informs ua that he is in re-
ceipt of a letter bon Oliver Doud Beroo, and that
Mr. Bvroo desires to return and play Faria agai

son last Saturday evening, a week ago, in
the presentation of the comedy-drama af
“Zip,” by Patti Rosa and company. One
of the largest audience of the season was
present to greet the little lady on her first
appearance in Denison, and' all present,
so far as the Gazetterr can learn, with
one or two exceptions, were highly
pleased and pronounce Miss Patti, her
company and “Zip” as side-splitters,
merry-makers | and blue dispensers,

mations aften the performance, such as
“Wasn’t she Cute!” “She was just splen-

“How did you like it!” “My Caroline,”
etc., etc. Well, ves, she was good; and
her admirers here are away up in the
hundreds.
The following notice of Daniel Sully’t
“Corner Grocery,” we find in the Dallas
News of the 8th'. There seems to be quite
a difference of opinions as regards this
play and company. The letter from Mr.
Charles Wing, tn this Column, doesn’t
tally with this notice:
The performances of “Corner Grocery’’ were
given veaterdnv to limited business. The mans
gera might well heed the practical warning so
often given them by the theater-going public in
Dallas, that they will not (lav $1 to see a 50 cent
show. “Corner Grocerv” is good of its kind and
would have been more successful financially had
the prices of admix**0® been put where they be-
long. One dollar to see ■■ Riel well’s Stock Com-
pany,” and fi to see “Peck’s Bad Bov" may be a
wise balancing of managerial economy, but this
want of liiscnmination and the failure to adjust the
price* at admission to the respective merits of the
theatrical attractions, are productive of results not
entirely beneficial either to the amusement pur
vevor or to the general public.
The following letter from the business
manager, Mr. Charles A. Wing, of M. B.
Curtis, in answer to a letter asking if Mr.
Curtis intends visiting Denison before
leaving the state, fully explains why we
are not to have the great “Sam’l of
Posen”i
Dallas, Tax as, Feb. 5, 1S86.
Editor Sunday Gaaetteer:
Dear Sir—I regret enceedingly that the company
I represent, M. B. Curua, the only and original
“Sam’l of Posen,’’ does not visit your city this sea-
son. I am satisfied that it is a mistake on our
part ia not doing so. Rest assured that on my
next visit to your g lor ion* state any attraction that
I mav be piloting, and 1 assure you that they are
only the beat, will surely play in Denison.
Will you kindly allow me to sav a word tor an
attraction that will shortly be ’ with you. “Dan
Solly in the Corner Grocery.” I say without res-
ervation that the gentleman is the beet Irish
comedian in America and the company supporting
him is an excellent one. The play has an inter-
esting plot and is full of fun from beginning to
end. I write this far the simple reason that Mr.
Sully has suffered from the public confounding hia
play with “Peck’s Bad Boy,” not to speak dis-
paragingly of the latter. I will sav that thee are
separate and distinct in method, plot and calibre
at company. Your citizen* have a rich treat in a
night of solid anioymern before them, and those
who fail to see Daa will regret it. I know that ft
is unusual far a manager thus to speak ot a rival
organization, but it is simple justice. Very truly
CHARLES A. WING,
Manager for M. & Curtis.

ing. Mr. J. D Quinn, of this city, has
the contract and is giving employment to
about thirty hands.
Conductor Fagin, of the Pacific,
handles the ribbons behind one of the
most stylish and fastest roadsters in the
city.
A. D. Carieton, who is running bag-
gage on the Harrisburg & San Antonio,
was in the city Tuesday. He was en-
route to Sedalia to visit a brother in the
Pacific hospital, who is very sick.
A number of railroad men were at
Dallas the past week attending Federal
court.
Baggage master J. B. Stewart, of the
Fort Scott & Gult, was in the city the
past week.
Andy Williams, foreman of the car de-
partment of the H. & T. C. at this point,
was summoned by telegraph to Houston
Monday to attend his brother Henry’s
funeral, who was 6hot and instantly
killed by a man named Kyle. Henry
Williams had been on the police lorce of
Houston for the past four years.
The night switchman in the Pacific
yards, by the name of Avery, lost a
finger Wednesday night while pulling a
pin between two freight cars.
There was a bad collUion in the Pacific
yards Wednesday night, owing to a mis-
placed switch. The yard engine collided
with two others, disfiguring them badly
We understand that R. R. Robbins,
late ticket agent of the Pacific at this
point, has been offered a similar position
on a road in the southern portion of the
state.
Business is very dull on the Pacific and
the crews do not ^ boast of making extra

There is a bran new girl at the resi

the Pacific.
Pratt Matthew, who was passenger
conductor out of Denison for a number
of years, on the H. & T. C., is at present
running a train on the Houston, East and
West Texas.
R. R. Cowan, passenger conductor on
the T. P., between Whitesboro and Tex-
arkana, was in the city Thursday. Mr.
Cowan was one of the first to come to
Denison in ’72, and was attached to a
surveying party under O. B. Gunn, who
laid out the city. Conductor Cowan,
who resided here for several years, had
quite a re-union with the old-timers
This is his first visit since ’80; he is sur-
prised at the progress of our city.
The Denison correspondent ot the
Fort Worth Gazette does Charley Knowl-
ton, freight conductor on the Pacific,
great injustice. It states that Conductor
Knowlton was arrested for introducing
liquor into the Nation, which is not true
in any particular. The correspondent
should call on Conductor Knowlton and
learn the true version ot the matter, and
correct his statement, which is calculated
to work harm.
Mr. R. W. Alley, who has been a resi-
dent of Denison for several years, and
was connected with the running depart-
ment of the H. & T. C., died with con-
sumption, in this city, Wednesday. The
deceased leaves a wife and one child.
A terrible explosion occurred last SaG
urday a week ago, on the East Line rail-
way. The construction train, with a pile-
driving machine, was standing on the
track ready for work, with about ten per-
sons standing and sitting, around it.
Without warning, the boiler of the pile-
driver engine exploded, with a force that
shook the earth, and scattered death and
destruction round about. The engineer
died from the effects of wounds received,
and several others were badly injured.
Doc Casey, the popular roadmastet of
the Pacific, was in the city Thursday and
was initiated into the sublime mysteries
of the O. O of H. Doc has been em-
powered to confer the degrees in the Ter-
ritory, and will organize a lodge at
Savanna on his return.
The body of an unknown white man
was found dead on the Pacific track,
Monday, between Durant and Armstrong
stations. The remains were mutilated in
a horrible manner, and almost nude. It
was supposed at first that the death was
the result ot an accident, but the impres-
sion now prevails that the party com-
mitted suicide; another theory is that he
was murdered and the body afterward
placed on the track. Pacific roadmaster,
Doc Casey, informs our reporter that the
dead man was a stranger, and probably a
tramp.
Conductor Charley Knowlton, of the
Pacific, was put through the trying or-
deal of the O. O. of H., Thursday.
One ot the most efficient and popular
freight conductors on the Pacific is W.
M. Boggs, and we hope the time is not
far distant when he will don the gilt but-
tons.
The officers ot the Mo. Pacific, have
sent a physician to Houston to vaccinate
qH employes ot the road.

WORKINGMEN'S COLUMN.
Devoted 10 the interests of the laboring classes.
Correspondence solicited.
Boycott, we are afraid, is the rock on
which the good ship Knights ot Labor
will go to pieces.
The Farmers’ Alliance of Dallas county
held a meeting the other day, repudiated
the action ot their secretary, and declared
themselves in favor of the" boycott.
Mr. T. J. Head informed the writer, in
Dallas, that Mr. H. E. Thomas was no
longer the business manager of the Labor
Sittings.
The labor committee in congress will
be brought more prominently before the
public than ever before. If it can frame
a lhw to satisfy the differences between
capital and labor in this country, it will
deserve more than thanks, and each mem
ber of the committee will deserve to be
re-elected.
The Knights of Labor have boycotted
the Sanger Bros., in Dallas, for carrying
the Stetson hat, but judging from the
large number of people that we saw
coming and going from the establishment
recently, but very little attention is paid
to the boycott.
The newspapers of Texas are almost a
unite in opposing the boycott of the Mal-
lory line, not that they have any grievance
against the Knights ot Labor, but because
they consider it a foolish and losing fight
to those who expect to benefit by it.
If the explanation of the cause of
strikes, recently given by Mr. Powderly,
of the Knights of Labor, be correct-
namely, ignorance of current events—it
might be a paying investment for each
state to make an appropriation sufficient
to furnish all workmen with a good daily
or weekly newspaper. This, according to
Mr. Powderly, would materially lessen
labor disturbances, and the workingmen
being constantly employed, would in-
crease the taxable wealth of the state,
thus indirectly returning the amount ap-
propriated for supplying needed informa-
tion.
Next May the most gigantic scheme
ever contemplated by the labor unions
will be inaugurated. It is to force the
adoption of the eight-hour rule in every
department ot labor throughout the
United States and Canada. As the move-
ment demands a full day’s pay for eight
hour’s work, it will have a hard struggle
to win. But if its promoters are in dead
earnest, as they seem to be, the breach
between capital and labor will be widened
more than it has ever been by all the dis-
content, strikes and boycotts of the past.
Mr. T. V. Powderly, grand master
workman of -the Knights of Labor, talks
hopefully of the future of labor. In an
interview, at Cincinnati recently, regard-
ing the condition of the laboring classes
he said: “Times are rathet hard just at
present, but I am glad to say that a better
feeling is coming about between the la-
borer and employer every day. I believe
in the next twelve months there will be
better understanding between laborers
and manufacturers. Each side will feel
like making concessions, and there will
be less bitterness. I find men who are
crankv, obstinate and unreasonable both
on the side of the employer and employe.
Men who seldom read newspapers, men
who do not read the daily papers and are
not acquainted with the drift of public
sentiment, are men, be they employers
or workingmen, who will not come to-
gether and talk matters over and be will-
ing to concede a point or two. The pow-
er of the press is of great avail in this
particular. If every laborer and every
manufacturer would read good newspa-
pers and be posted on the topics of the
times, I feel certain there would be less
trouble.”
The Boston Journal of Commerce
says;
“The Knights ot Labor, who met in
convention in Philadelphia in 18S4,
adopted a platform which is still expres-
sive of the sentiments of their body on
questions having a direct relation to cap-
ital and labor The keynote of this plat-
form is the alleged aggressiveness ot great
capitalists and corporations, which should
be checked by the united action of the
laboring community. If this is not done,
it is asserted that pauperism and hopeless
degradation will be the lot of the toiling
masses. The purposes ot the order of the
K. of L. are declared to be tor the or-
ganizing and directing the power of the
industrial masses. Most of the objects
are expected to be gained through nation-
al and state legislation; and, to accom-
plish them, political candidates will be
supported according to their predilections
to the measures proposed. Some ot the
principal objects of legislation which is
demanded are, enactment of laws to
compel corporations to pay their em-
ployes weekly for labor of the proceeding
week: the enactment of laws providing
for arbitration; the prohibition of the
employment of children under 15 years
of age in workshops, mines and factories;
the prevention of hiring out of convict
labor; and the imposition of a graduated
income tax. The establishment of co-
operative institutions for industrial pur-
poses is urged, and laborers are advised to
refuse to work more than eight hours per
day. The whole thing is alleged to be
for the advancement of the laboring man,
in all matters peitaining to his social and
moral condition, and so far as this is 1
concerned no one can justly find fault
